We need a methodology for distinguishing filers from nonfilers so that we can target filers as well as target the universe.
Here are two prior discussions on this topic: taxdata#366 and Tax-Calculator #2501.
My best python code for identifying tax filers in the puf is in the second, here. It's possible that I progressed beyond this, but I'll have to look; I know I was pretty satisfied with the definition just linked to.
Presumably this code should also work well on the PE flat file since it has puf variables. Is what I've provided sufficient? Should we start with that and open a GitHub issue to address questions that inevitably will pop up?
In the next comment I've copied the latest filer-identifying python code I wrote.
